Amin (“A-meen”) Danai, J.D., is a full-time civil mediator. He mediates both in person across the Commonwealth and by Zoom. His mediation practice spans numerous practice areas, including business, employment, personal injury, professional liability, real estate, and securities.
Whatever the nature of the case, Amin brings his experience of managing difficult relationship dynamics and mastering the intricacies of complex disputes.
Before transitioning to mediation full time, Amin practiced law at Ropes & Gray LLP for nine years. His interest in mediation developed while at Ropes & Gray. After completing his initial mediation training and mediating disputes in court, Amin took a hiatus from Ropes & Gray for an intensive mediation program at The Mediation Group. He learned from Brad Honoroff while working with him on over a hundred complex cases, and also worked with many other prominent Boston mediators. This rare experience has enabled Amin to see many different mediation styles and to learn what works and what doesn't. In his mediation practice, he draws from that experience to tailor his approach to the case at hand. References are available from attorneys who have mediated with Amin.
Before law school, Amin served under AmeriCorps in a legal aid office in Worcester. He grew up in western Massachusetts and lives there now with his wife and daughter. He’s an avid golfer, squash player, mountain biker and alpine skier.
